Newer 3d games (RE 7 biohazard, Chronos) start stuttering like hell randomly, and my Monitors backlight flickers all the time (lemmy.ml)

Im currently running bazzite, but the flickering has also happened on OpenSUSE

Im running the games via Heroic and Steam, both installed via normal packages (no flatpak)

Running via Proton-GE latest (10-10 at this point)

Running on a 1080p 144hz monitor connected with displayport

I have a ryzen 5 5600x, rtx 3060ti

I will try using a Gsync Monitor, but if anyone has any idea I'm open for it

Edit: Thanks to everyone, changing the Monitor did the Trick. I had a MSI MAG271CR, which already has had problems randomly disconnecting from Linux, and not showing a picture again until I did some shinanigans changing the resolutions

I changed my Main Monitor to a (Gsync compatible) Acer XB270H A, and it has none of these problems

Have you tried it under windows? If you have the same symptoms with 2 different distros I'd be considering a hardware problem, trying it in windows would eliminate or confirm that possibility.
